it takes 513 kj to remove a mole of electrons from the atoms at the surface of a piece of metal. how much energy does it take to remove a single electron from n atom at the surface of the metal

Respuesta :

Answer:

The right solution is "[tex]8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule[/tex]".

Explanation:

As we know,

1 mole electron = [tex]6.023\times 10^{23} \ no. \ of \ electrons[/tex]

Total energy = [tex]513 \ KJ[/tex]

                     = [tex]513\times 1000 \ joule[/tex]

For single electron,

The amount of energy will be:

= [tex]\frac{513\times 1000}{(6.023\times 10^{23})}[/tex]

= [tex]8.5\times 10^{-19} \ joule[/tex]
